Abstract
A circuit component package of the present invention includes a mounting member including a substrate and a wiring pattern provided on the substrate, a circuit component including a component body and an external electrode provided at an end of the component body, the circuit component being arranged on the mounting member, and a conductive material that electrically connects the external electrode with the wiring pattern. In the circuit component, the component body is shaped so that a first portion of the component body on which the external electrode is provided is thinner than a second portion of the component body, the second portion being a portion on which the external electrode is not provided, and further, the external electrode is arranged in a region on a side on which the component body is positioned with respect to a reference plane containing a predetermined surface of the component body. The circuit component is arranged on the mounting member so that the component body is in contact with the mounting member. The predetermined surface of the component body is a surface of the component body that is to be opposed to the mounting member when the circuit component is mounted on the mounting member.
